At this moment, a poetry meeting was being held in the Luoyang Palace. Because of Di Renjie's departure, Su Weidao, who became the prime minister, and the famous scholar Cui Rong, Chen Qi, Du Shenyan, Yan Chaoyin, Wang Wujing, Song Zhiwen and others were all sitting there. Even Shangguan Wan'er, a talented woman of a generation, was also accompanied by Wu Zetian with a smile.

Among these people, only about poetry, Du Shenyan, Su Weitao, Song Zhiwen and Chen Quanqi can be said to be the most important. Of course, they are still a thousand miles away from Du Li's height. The most crazy one is Lao Du, Du Fu's grandfather Du Shenyan.

Comrade Lao Du can be said to be the crazyest poet in the entire Tang Dynasty. He never knew how the word "mood" was written in his life. When he was young, Comrade Lao Du and Su Weidao, Li Jiao and Cui Rong were called the four friends of Wen Zhang. In fact, these four people were not much different in their talents. But Old Du had the smallest official position in his life. When he heard that Su Weidao became the minister of the Tianguan, he told others: "Su Weidao is dead."

He was stunned by others. At that time, the cruel officials in the court were in power, and most officials were in danger. Lao Du's rash words were really confusing. So others asked the reason. Lao Du said: "The minister of the Heavenly Office has to read the official documents submitted every day. When he saw the official documents I wrote, he died of shame."

After saying this, everyone was sweating protrudingly!

This is not too much. One day after reading the article he wrote, he expressed his feelings. What kind of feelings? He believed that no one in the world he wrote could compare with him, and he only compared with the ancients. He said: "Even Qu Yuan and Song Yu read the articles I wrote, they had to stand at attention." Qu Yuan admired this point. He also said: "My calligraphy is not bad, and Wang Xizhi and I have to lose to me even if they compete with me."

When he was dying, Song Zhiwen went to visit him. He said again: "You are happy this time when I die."

Song Zhi asked inexplicably.

Comrade Lao Du said again: "Only when I die can you have a chance to make a comeback, but you are just yours and you don't have the ability to take over my job."

In the end, even the history books could not afford the works of this cute old gay, so they only used two words: pride. It was too crazy, a bit ridiculous, but also a bit cute.

Whether Lao Du's literary talent has really reached this point does not ask whether he has reached this point. But when fighting in the arena, the competition-type poets are Song Zhiwen.

This was also a famous poet in the early Tang Dynasty. However, compared with Lao Du's arrogance, this man can be said to be the worst poet in the Tang Dynasty. He first defected to Zhang Yizhi's brothers, which was not counted. The general environment was at that time. Many people protected themselves, pretended to be crazy and stupid in order to protect themselves. Many people also flattered them for glory and wealth. Later, after he was demoted to Lingnan, he secretly ran over without suffering. His friend Zhang Zhongzhi took the risk to accept him. But after he heard that Zhang Zhongzhi planned to remove Wu Sansi, he immediately reported Zhang Zhongzhi for wealth, which led to Zhang being beheaded.

That's all. He did the most shameless thing, and his nephew Liu Xiyi wrote a poem. It was the famous "Yuan Baitou Song", "Whose peaches and plum blossoms in the east of Luoyang City flew around and fell? The daughter of Luoyang cherished the color and sighed when she saw the fallen flowers. This year the color of the flowers changed, and next year the flowers bloomed and will be there. I have seen the pines and cypresses destroy them as firewood, and I heard that the mulberry fields turned into sea. The ancients did not return to the east of Luoyang City, but people still faced the fallen flowers. Years and years ago, people still faced the fallen flowers. The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. I send a message to you that the beautiful man in full bloom should be pity for the half-dead white-headed man. This man is so pitiful, and the beautiful man in the past is beautiful. The young master Wang Sun Fang is under the tree, singing and dancing in front of the fallen flowers. The Guanglu pond is blooming in the beautiful platform, and the general pavilion is painted with gods. Once you are sick, you have no friends, and who will have fun in the three springs? When can the eyebrows turn, the crane hair is as messy as silk. But looking at the singing and dancing in ancient times, there are only the sadness of birds at dusk."

This poem occupies an important position in the entire Tang Dynasty poem. Later, Cao Xueqin asked Lin Daiyu to write "The Song of Burial Flowers" in "Dream of Red Mansions".

When Song Zhiwen saw the two sentences "The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year", he asked Liu for it. In other words, he gave me this poem and said that I wrote it. Liu finally wrote this proud work, but of course he was not happy. But he didn't expect that this uncle was so angry that he instructed his servant to murder Liu.

But a bad character does not mean that he is not good at learning. Song Zhiwen's best skill is his reaction speed. Especially when writing poems, he can always win. Once, Wu Zetian held a poetry meeting, and the winner would get a brocade robe. Dongfang Qiu waved it and Song Zhiwen was half a step slow, but Wu Zetian still took the brocade robe back from Dongfang Qiu and rewarded Song Zhiwen. Dongfang Qiu was not convinced and asked the reason. Wu Zetian showed him the poem by Song Zhiwen. Especially the last two sentences: "My emperor is not happy in Yaochi, and Shiyu comes to watch Nong Huchun." How clever is this flattery that is slapped on Wu Zetian.

Dongfang Qiu had no choice but to admit defeat in a daze.

Of course, Song Zhiwen's final situation is also caused by many reasons.

If he is an official like a sports meet, he will be easy to do. But being an official is just an official, and doing poetry is just an increase of reputation for himself. But he wants to be an official and a high-ranking official, so he has to curry favor with Wu Zetian. However, Song Zhiwen is tall and has a bad appearance, but he has one disadvantage: his teeth are too ugly. At that time, in order to control the government, Wu Zetian set up a bachelor's degree in the North Gate. Song Zhiwen begged Wu Zetian to give him this bachelor's degree. However, Wu Zetian refused because he was ugly!

No wonder, she has been used to seeing handsome men such as Zhang Yizhi's brothers all day long, and Song Zhiwen really can't get into Wu Zetian's eyes.

Seeing that Wu Zetian's road was no longer available, Song Zhiwen had to climb Wu Zetian's favorite man Zhang Yizhi. In addition to the influence of the great atmosphere at that time, he walked step by step towards the falling abyss.

Now Wu Zetian is going to hold a poetry meeting, and Song Zhiwen is very happy. This is also a good opportunity for him to perform in front of Wu Zetian.

He entered the palace with a joyful smile on his face.

Together with him, all the great and talented men flocked to him and came to the palace to sit in the palace. First, he greeted Wu Zetian, the current Ci family's ancient golden wheel holy emperor, His Majesty, and then the king and his ministers made a while to make a poem meeting begin.

The eunuch brought paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and the beautiful young woman Shangguan Wan'er, who was in charge of the imperial edict, supervised her.

Song Zhiwen picked up the brush, thought for a while, and wrote a poem that was adapted.

After writing, he blew the ink marks and watched other ministers. Some of them had just finished writing, and some were still thinking, and his expression showed a proud look.

In fact, looking at the life of Song Zhiwen, the one who left the most was the poetry of the corresponding works, which was rare among the poets of the Tang Dynasty. But the best poem he wrote was the poem "Crossing the Han River" when he was exiled to Lingnan:

The musical books outside the mountain are unique, and they have passed through winter and spring.

I feel even more timid when I am close to home, so I dare not ask the person I come.

This poem was written by him on his way to exile in the city of Longzhou and passing through the Han River. Although he had written many poems before, they were extremely gorgeous, but they were mostly empty and artificial. Only this poem is vivid and natural, and is also a famous Tang poem.

Song Zhiwen looked at the poem he wrote again, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

After a while, everyone wrote the poem and handed it to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian's mouth thrust towards Shangguan Wan'er. Although this famous queen was old, it was strange that in her later years, the teeth that fell from her mouth actually grew back. In addition, she was good at painting herself, so she didn't even think that she was beginning to age.

But after all, she is getting older. Even the calligraphy of the brush looks very difficult. Nowadays, many official documents are read by others, and she will deal with them after listening to them.

Now she asked Shangguan Wan'er to evaluate these people's poems.

Shangguan Wan'er was the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty. Because her mother Zheng was the sister of Zheng Xiuyuan, the young minister of Taichang, and was granted the death of her daughter. However, this woman was extremely talented and soon received the appreciation of Wu Zetian. She was also decisive in doing things. The crown prince Li Xian had a relationship with her, but later for the sake of her future, she decisively wrote the derogatory edict to kill Li Xian.

But a few years ago, she fell in love with Zhang Changzong, and the two of them were working on the bed, but Wu Zetian saw it. Wu Zetian was furious, pulled out a golden knife, inserted it into Shangguan Wan'er's front bun, injured her left forehead, and said angrily: "You dare to approach me and ban my pills, and the crime should be executed." Fortunately, Zhang Changzong knelt for her and was forgiven. Wan'er had a scar on her forehead, so she stabbed a red plum blossom on the scar to cover it, but she became more charming. The palace maids all thought it was beautiful, and some secretly used rouge to imitate it. Gradually, this kind of red plum blossom makeup in the palace was found in Wan'er.

But this woman was very skilled and didn't take long to win Wu Zetian's heart again.

Now she was looking at these poems. She was already talented. While reading, she threw the poems she didn't like to see on the ground. She ignored the feelings of these poets. Even Song Zhiwen looked at her little hands and thought to herself: My aunt, don't throw away what I wrote.

The more he threw the fewer and fewer, and in the end, there were only a few psalms left before Shangguan Wan'er's desk. Shangguan Wan'er opened these psalms again and looked at them. After thinking about it, she actually started to throw them up again. What made the ministers upset was that Shangguan Wan'er actually threw all the psalms to the ground, leaving no book in front of the case.
